Perhaps a Camero, Charger or a Ford Mustang would suit you?
Why not? They made Panamera for M5 segment, I can see them making an upscale 3 series competitor just like they made Macan for SAV.

It's not the first time Porsche used front engine, rear wheel drive sedans. 928 is one example of this.

So far, BMW has not screwed up the 2 series (other than offering a 1 series FWD car badged deceptively as a 2 series).
M2 has been around for one generation. Plus, there is no guarantee M2 won't lose DCT for the same reason M3 is expected to lose: bean counting.

M3 has 5 generations of history before G80. It is symbolically a 911 of BMW M.
